First Time Bidding!

Hi everyone. I am about to submit a bid for a small commericial job and wanted opinions on what I've come up with for my bid!

Here are some details:

All carpet, desk to be cleaned and phones to be cleaned & sanitized.

Small entry - one desk, lamp, one small table, 2 chairs, microwave and microwave stand - dust, vacuum

Very small office for supplies and one computer (not occupied) - dust, vacuum

2nd office (small) - vacuum, dust

3rd office (average size) - vacuum, dust

4th office (average size) - vacuum, dust, clean glass door

5th office (average size) - vacuum, dust, clean glass door

Conference room - conference table, 6-8 chairs, bookshelf - vacuum, dust

Copier room (medium size) - 7 file cabinets, bookshelf - vacuum, dust

Hallway w/ small table - vacuum, dust

2 men's bathrooms - one with shower

1 women's bathroom

They want this basic cleaning done every other week. I figured $180.00 / visit.

Any suggestions or opinions?

Thanks!

Sounds like one we do, it would be about $60-75 per visit in Michigan all labor and supplies included. How did you get your $180, how many man hours are you thinking?

Hi Kevin. Wow! 60-75, really??

I had figured approx 5 hours and then added a little to that. I'm a one-person business right now so it would be just me.

I've heard 2 other bids they received were in the 150 - 200 range but they accepted the person who was cleaning for them in another office @ 55.00 This was after I was told this person did not do a good job for them!!!

Oh well - I guess win some, lose some!
